In a statement released by her family, it was announced that pregnant influencer Jackie Miller James had awakened from a medically induced coma and was joyfully reunited with her baby on Sunday. Jackie had been placed in the coma while receiving treatment for an aneurysm.

The family provided an update on her condition, more than a month after the health and beauty influencer experienced the aneurysm at 39 weeks into her first pregnancy. In an Instagram post, they expressed their gratitude for the prayers and support received.

Jackie is now awake and has been transferred to one of the top neurological rehabilitation hospitals in the country. The doctors have been encouraged by her recent tests, numbers, and evaluations, noting that she is surpassing expectations in her recovery and showing progress each day.

However, the family emphasized that Jackie still has a long and challenging road to recovery ahead of her, despite the positive strides she has made so far.

During the period when Miller James was in a medically induced coma, her child was delivered via C-section. In a poignant moment captured in a photo and shared on a GoFundMe page, the baby was placed in her arms.

Following the delivery, the baby spent 12 days in the neonatal intensive care unit and was reported to be in good health.

“Jackie & Austin’s baby girl is a constant source of light for the entire family and continues to grow into a happy, healthy, and animated little angel,” the family’s update read. “Jackie has also recently been reunited with her baby, and spends a great deal of each day with her entire family while in the hospital.”

According to a GoFundMe organized by her family, Jackie Miller James, a 35-year-old beauty influencer on social media, suffered an aneurysm rupture at her home, resulting in significant brain bleeding.

Upon discovering the situation, Jackie’s husband, Austin, swiftly transported her to the intensive care unit (ICU), where she underwent emergency surgeries. Both a C-section to deliver the baby and brain surgeries were performed simultaneously to address the critical conditions.

Jackie’s sisters, Natalie and Nicelle, shared on the fundraising site that if Jackie and the baby had arrived at the hospital just a few minutes later, they might have tragically lost both of them. Fortunately, due to their timely arrival, Jackie is persistently fighting for her life each day, and there is optimism that she can overcome the odds with the support of specialized medical professionals and therapeutic approaches.

With over 27,000 followers on Instagram, Miller James has been actively documenting her pregnancy journey, offering regular updates on her daily routines, skincare, and symptoms to her engaged audience.

Prior to dedicating herself to being a full-time influencer, Miller James accumulated six years of experience working for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Before that, she spent five years residing in New York, where she worked as a backup dancer for various artists, showcasing her versatile talents.
